The CM11A's about 2 years old. It's on all events, no matter if it's a dim/bright or on/off, and it's anything from a light to a motion sensor to a contact closure. As long as it runs through the receiver, it's lagged. I'm going to run 3.3 and see if it goes back to the normal speed, since nothing's changed. I'll let you know what happens.

From the icons in groups, everything seems to work fine, but using a PLC remote it has a definite lag, sometimes up to 5-10 seconds.

For example, my living room lights are set to go to either 96% or 0%. Sometimes a click will stop somewhere in between. It's sporadic and doesn't seem to be dependent on the wrong percentage it stops on. > > > > > > > > Need details (what is your cfg doing upon a click ?) > > > > > > > > > > > > > > One last thing, which I can probably fix in the code. I have an exit delay on my security. After announcing it, ECS pauses 15 seconds then arms the alarm system. After the upgrade, the announcement comes AFTER the pause.
